Do I just move on?

I have been with my husband for 8 years, together for 12 and he is a lot older than me. I am now 38 and he is pushing 60. When we first got together I gave up so much for him, even having a family of my own. At the time I didn't realise I was doing that but it came apparant as the years rolled on and he made no effort to try and start a family. (he already has a family from a previous relationship.) Lately we have been arguing a lot and I find him less and less compromising. It seems to me that he isn't interested in anything I have to say anymore, to the point that he starts an argument before I have had a chance to finish my sentence, making the assumption I am saying something negative. I am not saying I am perfect but I do feel that I have always put him and his feeling first in our relationship.
After a very unprovoked tantrum from him last night I spent the night in my car. I have not had any communication from him since and he hasn't enquired about my welfare. I really don't know if I want to continue to be with him but I gave up a lot to be with him and it hurts knowing that maybe it was all a mistake.

If it's over, it's over. If there's nothing there keeping you together, if you're sniping more than you're saying nice things and if you don't see a future in it then it's best to cut your losses. Even if you sacrificed a lot to be with him, that doesn't mean you're obliged to keep sacrificing. You only get one shot at life... make the most of it.
